Remote Methods For Engaging Adolescents And Young People In Research
In this new practical resource from the Accelerate Hub, we share lessons from 18 months of engaging with adolescents and young people through remote research methods in South Africa and Kenya from April 2020-October 2021. We hope this toolkit is a useful resource for other research projects and teams, policy makers, and implementing organisations that are currently undertaking or who would like to undertake remote research with adolescents and young people.

Addressing the needs of adolescent and young mothers affected by HIV in Eastern and Southern Africa
Adolescent and young mothers are a priority population for 2gether 4 SRHR in Eastern and Southern Africa, including those who are affected by HIV.

This assessment showcases key findings and recommedentions from Botswana’s family planning programme which combines a rights-based family planning approach, with clear and supportive policies for contraception, and a commitment to expand the availability, choice and uptake of modern contraceptive methods.
